A worthwhile tour to do when in Munich. Alun has extensive subject matter knowledge and is a highly engaging guide.
Great experience. Alun was extremely knowledgeable and personable. We learned a tremendous amount of history in an easy, understandable way. He showed us the sights in a way that brought them to life.
A most informative tour by a most knowledgeable guide. He was extremely pleasant, animated and appropriately sensitive to the subject matter. A dark. In world history that came alive in the telling.
Alum gave a great, highly knowledgeable tour of a difficult topic. He was enthusiastic, on occasion witty, and showed us important sites and placed them in a historical context. It was superb.
Alun was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Me and my partner had a great time and learnt loads. Will definitely make sure to organise another tour on our return to Munich! 10/10
Iain was a fantastic tour guide who took us through Munich as well as history. He was engaging, funny, proficient, and most importantly knowledgeable. I really enjoyed my time on this tour and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more on this subject.
Alun provided a comprehensive explanation of how Munich gave birth to the National Socialist movement and its important landmarks. Without that knowledge it would be difficult to stand in the footsteps of history since the landmarks are generally not identified in any way. If you like history this tour is well worth the time.
Would definitly recommend the tour was so informative and very interesting less know facts he made sure we were always comfortable and even went off topic to discuss other things that came up along the way he was friendly and professional even helping us to buy tickets for the journey back to where we needed to be
Alum did a fantastic job explaining the Third Reich history and key events around Munich. He enriched the discussion with many period photos. Alum is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions on the tour. We had great time and we would highly recommend.
Perfect way to spend a few hours in Munich. Got to see the buildings where the Nazi's were born: Hitler's first public stand, SS first public gathering, Hitler's office, and many other interesting pieces along the way. Allun was an excellent tour guide. Not only did he provide some interesting stories you may never have heard from Hitler's reign, but also made you consider different perspectives along the way on what led to this reign of terror. Insightful, thought provoking, and also a great opportunity to see the city of Munich.
When taking tours in foreign lands, it is equally as important to find a great guide as it is a tour. For the man that leads this tour, Alun, as a guide, as a leader, as a man, and as a friend, he is of the highest kind, quality, and order. Supreme, Superlative and honorable. With family blood invested, and nearly 20 years of experience, he is second to none.
As an often independent traveler, the thought of guided tours was something that didn’t appeal to me until I got to Munich and really wanted to see some of the city’s history related to the Nazi Party and the Third Reich. After seeing good reviews for Alun’s tours online - I decided to take a chance and book his afternoon walking tour - and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made while traveling. I ended up getting a private tour with just myself and Alun and it was fascinating. He really knows his stuff, is prepared for all questions, handles sensitive topics in a discrete manor and was just a joy to chat with. I would recommend his tours to anyone visiting Munich and I’m disappointed I didn’t book a Dachau tour with him as well. Thanks to Alun, I’m going to be a guided tour person from now on, though I’m not sure any could be as good!
My husband and I signed up for the small-group Third Reich Walking Tour and it ended up being just us so it was perfect! Alun was prompt, extremely informative and engaging, and clearly knew his subject matter. The pictures he brought along of the various sites as they were during the Third Reich added so much to the tour. Really glad we did this tour. Highly recommended!
A fascinating small group tour, where it was just my husband and myself so no straining to hear Alun explain, then point out sights that made it easy to understand a period of history that to us today seems so extreme. We were able to ask any question on the topic and Alun would give a straight answer. He is sensitive to the locals lack of comfort with the subject and made sure when showing photos he did it discreetly. We would recommend 100% and we have done 45 years of tours.
Alun was an absolute pleasure. He had the logistics of this tour down perfectly. He knew exactly what time and even where to stand for the train and bus. The tour was powerful. Alun brought the history to life both during the Dachau and Third Reich tours. I learned so much more than I already knew, and I’m a World War II history buff. It was a lot of walking, and it was totally worth it. I can not recommend Alun enough.
Alun was an awesome tour guide. We have been traveling in several different cities and taken many other tours and none compare. He is so knowledgeable and respectful of a sensitive topic. We learned so much we wished we had done this our first day in Munich because it would have enhanced our trip. We felt that he had truly perfected this tour. We also loved the small group size. I will recommend his tour to anyone I know traveling to Munich.
Excellent tour, Alun was very very knowledgeable and his passion for history made the tour really enjoyable. He provides very detailed information that you can't find easily anywhere else.
Small group with lots of information, Alan gave us an excellent tour that gave us facts and showed the growth of the nazi party.
<p>Please don't be put off my the Third Reich part, we learn so much about buildings and places that we had previously just walked pass, Alun really knew his stuff, would differently recommend.</p>
This tour was informative and fascinating. It gives a unique perspective on the past by allowing the tour taker to imagine what it would have been like to have lived in the city during its darkest time. I highly recommend this to anyone with an historical interest in the Third Reich.
<p>Alun was a fantastic tour guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He not only gave a great history of the Third Reich, but also pointed out plenty of great sites and stops in Munich along the way. I strongly recommend Alun and this tour, it will be one of the best 2 hours of your time in Munich! Thanks Alun!<br/> Marc and Whitney - Denver</p>
<p>This was a good tour of Munich. The guide explained pointed out the key sites but the focus was on the rise of the 3rd Reich. So if you are a military history buff, this tour is a must. My wife thought there was perhaps a bit too much of this and would have liked the opportunity to sit a few times while the explanations took place.</p>
<p>An educational tour for sure. Alun was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable. He made the tour. Really covered quite a bit of the city and how the third Reich came to be. Highly recommend this tour</p>
<p>Amazing tour!! Alun, our guide was awesome. Super knowledgeable! Took us around Munich and showed us where The Third Reich started. Showed us places we would have looked past or never even noticed! Answered all of our questions and was extremely accommodating. We took our 5 year old and 3 year old with us, so we were able to stop for quick bathroom breaks. Easy meeting point location. Will definitely be booking this tour again when families and friends want to visit Munich!</p>
<p>The tour guide has in-depth knowledge of his subject and made this walking tour most enjoyable in spite of the cold, rainy weather. Would definitely recommend.</p>
<p>Alan the guide was great. We had a great time seeing the various places that had a historical part in the rise of the nazi party. As a history person it was very interesting to see places you have read about and have them explained in context with the city and the times. Alan was informative and listened to your questions and talked about the things you had an interest in as well as the things he was pointing out on the tour. We would highly recommend Alan as a guide.</p>
<p>Fantastic tour! Very knowledgable and welcoming guide</p>
<p>Kathryn was so knowledgeable and personable. She was quite open to questions. I learned a tremendous amount of history about (particularly, East) Berlin. Thanks</p>
Very good time. This guide masters the subject perfectly. He knows Munich and its history. It makes you discover details of the great history....
Very interesting walk in the Third Reich. As a guide Alun was good at adapting the trip to the questions that came. It was a good introduction to the brown Munich, can be highly recommended.
The places that Alun passed are of extreme importance to tell the history of Munich and the Third party Heich.. highly recommended!!!
